According to agreement Adjutant General

last Thursday evening, and after delivering =
happily expressed speech, mustered in forty
Of our young men for . national cavalry
companythe term Of enlistment being for
three years. sAaer taking the oath Of ale
glance, and qftheir willingness to abide BY
the provisions thereof, the company closed
the doors Of the room, and proceeded to the
election Of officers, which was performed by
ballot, and with the following result:
By the first informal ballot for Captain,
U. s. Thompson had the almost unanimous
vote, and on motion the rules were waived,
and the ballot made formal, thus electing him
to that position. +r.
An informal ballot for frst lieutenant gave
Thomas Lowrie o decided preference for that
position, and again the rules were suspended,
the ballot made formal, rendering Mr.. Low
ries election unanimous.
For second lieutenant the informal ballot
was split up among J. A. Greig, v. B. Noble,
Chas. Smith and others, but by the formal
ballot theworthy doctor was elected by .
good majority.
Capt Thompson then stated that he would not
make use Of his authority to appoint the non
commissioned officers, with the exception Of
first sergeant, but would allow the company
to make their own selections, which he would
accept. The boys, however, declined to do
SO, and by an impromptu vote, declared
their willingness to stand by the captain in all
his appointments.
Notice was then given that the first drill
would be held next Saturday. evening, and
q prompt attendance was requested. and
Capt. Thompson stated that he would defer
the appointment Of the sergeants and corpor-
ais until that occasion.
The company will be furnished with the
latest improved Springfield rife, and for tho
present the infantry drill will be exclusively
used. arrangements for uniforms will soon
be made, and bona-fde organization can
confidently be expected. If the boys are
prompt, obedient and good-humored. the
company will soon be placed-an an excellent
war-footing, besides, becoming credit 10 the
town they represent. All hail to tho Turtle

The first match game Of ball for the season
took place last Saturday evening, between
the first and second mines of Bottineau, at the
new grounds southeast Of the railway track.
The game was called at 8 O. 'olock, and owing
to darkness but four innings were played.
It proved very exciting, and large crowd
gathered to witness the game, and who iber-
ally applauded all the good points made. The
champion nine went to bat first, and scored
six earned runs. The Amateurs in their half
Of tho inning were whitewashed. being unable
to get on to Woodward's swift curves. The
Champions scored eight runs in the next in
ming, and the Amateurs two. The Amateurs
had exceedingly long faces when they went
to bat the third inning, the Champions retir-
ing with eight more runs to their credit-the
score now standing % to 2. But presto
change-the Amateurs commenced to pound
the ball Ill over the field, and ran up thirteen
runs in an incredibly short time. Ye ne
porter began to think of telegraphing to the
type-foundry for additional figures in order
to publish the score. In the fourth and last
inning the Champions captured four runs and
the Amateurs fve-making total score Of
20 to 26 in favor Of the former. The boys
had lots Of fun, and propose to repeat the
game soon. Every time foul ball
struck Umpire Taylor the people looked to
see if cyclone was coming. y. s. Marshal
Smith thought discretion much better than
yalor when foul ball just grazed his head.
He retreated prudently. Dickey distinguish
ed himself for his rapid evolutions around
the bases and Slower for his somersaults. A.
Wood sometimes ploughed the ground in
reaching first base, hut worked nobly for his
side. Longley, Sullivan, Monson and Dana
made Themselves conspicuous for their heavy
slugging For want Of space We are unable
TO characterise the others, but hope TO be
able to witness another game between these
two mines in the near future. II Il like ..tood

RAINFALL IN KANSAS.

The following is of importance to
the western half of Kansas, and in
teresting to everyone. 1t is a state
ment mhde by Prof. Snow of the State
university:
Observations of the rainfall have
been made at Fl. Leayenworth for 80
years, Fl. Riley for 20 years, Agricul-
tnral college for "a years, and Law
renee for II years For the sake of
brevity will compare the rainfall in
the last half of each of the above per.
iods with that of the first half, which
shows the following annual average
Increase. Fort Leavenworth, 5.2I in.
or 20 per cent. Fort Riley, 3.O5, or
13 per cent; Lawrence, 3.O6, or 9 per
cent: Manhattan, 5.61, or 20 per cent.
There can be no oanbt but what this
Increase of rainfall has been caused
by the settlement of the state within
s1he last thirty years, the population
g which at the present time exceeds
q 000. 900. The three great causes
,ivh have produced these favorable

REc,np,mo TmAr ORDER.

Not drum was heard, not . poor. shrill
drum,
As the back track was taken BY Grover.
At the nags which they could not recover.
He took the back track Of Thursday night,
A penitent letter preparing.
By the beams of the blazing Northern light.
And Daniel softly swearing!
An angry zrowl from the President stole.
And he seemed to the calm beh0lder
Like man that had put his foot in hole
Clear up to the blade Of his shoulder.
Formal and cold his epistle ran
He exhibited little detection
But steadfastly gazed on the face of Dan.
And thought of next years election.
He thought as he finished and signed his name
And read his recindment over,
That the boys in blue would tread down his
fame,
And make it quite lively for Grover,
Loudly they'n talk of his copperhead style.
And curse him both frequent and hearty:
Yet little he'll wreck retaining the smile
OF the fine old Bourbon party.
But half of his heavy task was DER
When the news from the country reached
him.
Ard he knew rs he read how the veterans
swOre.
That each loyal heart impeachei him.
Slowly and sadly he bit his thumb,
On his brow was cloudlet of thunder
He spoke not to Dan, he beat not drum.
And the left him alone with his blunder,
